About

I am Stormy Hound's ultimate quest mule. Most of the quests will be done out in the journal for this mule, as bumping a quest in the charity forum is irritating. (Though most people are too lazy to check a journal.)

Stormy's quest-flavor of choice? African Hunting Dogs!

The fur of an African hunting dog appears to be painted with brown, red, black, yellow and white areas. The pattern of colors is different on each animals coat, much like the stripes of zebras. The fur is short, with little or no underfur, and the blackish skin is sometimes visible where fur is sparse. Typically there is dark fur on the head and a white tip on the end of their bushy tail. They have large, rounded ears, a thin body, and long, muscular legs.

The dogs are cooperative hunters, hunting in packs led by the alpha male. Primarily diurnal, most hunting is done in the morning and early evening, thouh they will hunt at night if there is a bright moon. Instead of using smell to find prey, these dogs use sight. Once they locate prey, the chase can last for several kilometers and reach speeds up to 55 km/hour. Unlike cheetahs, the dogs chase their prey until it tires out or gives up.
